About this audiobook

Melbourne, 1929. The year starts off for glamorous private investigator Phryne Fisher with a rather trying heat wave and more mysteries than you could prod a parasol at. Simultaneously investigating the apparent suicide death of a man on St Kilda beach and trying to find a lost, illegitimate child who could be heir to a wealthy old woman's fortune, Phryne needs all her wits about her, particularly when she has to tangle with a group of thoroughly unpleasant Bright Young Things. But Phryne Fisher is a force of nature, and takes in her elegant stride what might make others quail, including terrifying séances, ghosts, Kif smokers, the threat of human sacrifices, dubious spirit guides and maps to buried pirate treasure...

Delightfully decadent. I grabbed this audiobook after watching the show and I couldn't be more pleasantly surprised. There are a lot of details and two different stories going on but I didn't have too much trouble keeping up. Greenwood does an amazing job tieing the characters together and I can just picture Phryne in her green parlour with a cocktail in hand. Great summer read!
